Cainon Lamb worked with them on the majority of the record, while additional production was helmed by Carvin & Ivan, Michael "Big Mike" Clemons, and Bryan-Michael Cox.

It also includes their cover of the Patti LaBelle classic, "If Only You Knew" which earned SWV a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Traditional R&B Performance category.

I Missed Us is SWV's first album release in over a decade, following 1997's A Special Christmas and their disbandment the following year "amid plenty of dissension, to pursue individual projects and focus on their families".

Whilst discussing the break-up, group member Leanne Lyons said; “there were times we weren’t speaking” because "we allowed people to tear us apart".

"[1] Entertainment Weekly's Mikael Wood felt that the "R&B hitmakers’ first album in 15 years probably won’t return them to the top of the charts [...] but ’90s-style cuts ”All About You” and the Chaka Khan-sampling ”Do Ya” still get us weak in the knees.
